They shall immediately report to the judges any violations of the rules of racing observed by them during the race and immediately after the finish and no posting of the order of finish shall be official until all patrol judges have verbally reported to the judges' stand. With prior approval of the commission, the starter may act as one of the patrol judges.

These reports shall be delivered to the presiding judge at the conclusion of each racing program and a copy of these reports shall be included with the daily report sent to the commission. When requested by the presiding judge, the patrol judges will make themselves available to testify at any hearing concerning violations they have observed.
(C) The requirements of paragraphs (A) and (B) of this rule may be waived by the commission upon application of a permit holder who demonstrates satisfactorily to the commission that adequate electronic and television equipment have been installed by the permit holder for purposes of officiating the running of the races.
